New and better treatments are being developed and launched constantly, yet there\u2019s one that\u2019s beginning to emerge that\u2019s surprised many: phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/buy-viagra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/cialis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cialis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/vardenafil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Levitra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While the studies are preliminary, the links between a better heart and the little blue pill are becoming stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Link Between Heart Disease and Erectile Dysfunction<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHeart disease\u201d is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/heartdisease\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an umbrella term<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a wide range of conditions, many of which involve the narrowing of blood vessels. This makes erectile dysfunction (ED), an early warning sign of heart disease; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/what-is-the-link-between-erectile-dysfunction-ed-and-heart-attacks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">men who have heart attacks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often suffer from ED afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While ED can have a wide range of causes, one of the more common ones is a lack of blood flow to the penis. When blood vessels narrow, it becomes more difficult for blood to fill the spongiform tissues that are key to getting and keeping an erection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra and other phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, or PDE5i drugs, help treat ED by enlarging the blood vessels. To do that, they prevent PDE5 from degrading cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Nitric oxide binds to cGMP and relaxes the blood vessels so they can stay open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This effect applies across the body. In fact, Viagra wasn\u2019t originally developed for ED, but instead <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7097805\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was developed to treat angina<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, pain caused by limited blood flow to the heart. It\u2019s still used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, under the brand <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/revatio.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revatio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While its side effect of strengthening erections has drawn more attention and made sildenafil (the generic name for Viagra) a top-selling drug, researchers were left wondering if PDE5i drugs can lower heart disease risk. And they\u2019ve come across some compelling statistical evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can Viagra Lower Heart Disease Risk?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2.jpeg-55_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34179\" title=\"Man holding his heart in pain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2.jpeg-55_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Man holding his heart in pain\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2.jpeg-55_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2.jpeg-55_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article\/20\/1\/38\/6986842?login=false\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a study published in January 2023<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, researchers ran what\u2019s called a retrospective observational cohort study, where they take a large dataset of everyday people with similar characters and age (the cohort) and filter the data to look for interesting results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, they selected men who hadn\u2019t reported heart problems before being diagnosed with ED and who got at least one PDE5i through their insurance coverage. It checked them against men who hadn\u2019t gotten a prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The study found that men who\u2019d taken the PDE5 inhibitor at least once had a 13% overall lower incidence of heart disease-related issues, including death. These results are particularly compelling because they rule out a common problem with this analysis. Because it used insurance data, everyone in the study went to the doctor on a fairly regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are, of course, some limits to this type of research. In particular, the researchers make clear that there may be unexpected factors their study simply didn\u2019t consider. There\u2019s a possibility that the men in the \u201ccontrol\u201d group \u2014 those who did not get prescriptions for a PDE5i \u2014 may have used one paid for in a different way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, the research aligns with other studies on PDE5 inhibitors. A cohort study <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0735109721002400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">published in 2021<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> conducted on Swedish men showed the same correlation, suggesting a protective effect. So while nothing definitive can be said yet, there\u2019s definitely momentum toward a broader study and new recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why does Viagra help the heart? The theory is that by expanding the arteries near the heart, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors make it easier for the heart to pump blood. The easier the heart has it, the less likely it is to be remodeled \u2014 changed in ways that are detrimental to long-term heart health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What to Know About Viagra and Heart Disease<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.jpeg-52_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34180\" title=\"Man holding his heart\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.jpeg-52_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Man holding his heart\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.jpeg-52_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3.jpeg-52_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this evidence is compelling, there are some risks related to PDE5i medication and heart disease. Remember, these medications work throughout the circulatory system, not just in the penis. In some situations, this widens arteries to the point where it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This is especially risky for those who are taking other blood pressure medication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In particular, it\u2019s recommended that you show caution if:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve experienced a cardiac event, stroke, or arrhythmia in the last six months<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a history of congestive heart failure or unstable angina<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re taking medication for low blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re managing uncontrolled high blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re considering ED medication and have any of these conditions, take these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consult with your doctor.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ask about your options and any possible risk in taking ED drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Review any medication you\u2019re currently taking.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The risk of interaction can be particularly high for ED meds in combination with blood pressure medication. Drugs that affect liver enzymes can inhibit the breakdown of ED medication. And be sure to mention to your doctor any supplements you\u2019re taking; they can have unexpected effects.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Discuss changes to your lifestyle with your doctor.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many of the lifestyle interventions recommended for heart disease can also help with ED.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>If I Don\u2019t Currently Have Heart Disease, Should I Take Viagra Anyway?<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4.jpeg-24_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34181\" title=\"Man taking a blue pill\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4.jpeg-24_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Man taking a blue pill\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4.jpeg-24_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4.jpeg-24_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your heart is healthy, and you don\u2019t need a little blue pill, it\u2019s better to not take it unless a doctor advises you to. While these studies are attention-getting, especially for men with heart disease, there\u2019s a lot of research still to be done before definitive conclusions can be drawn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to manage heart disease is to not get it in the first place, so ask your doctor about lifestyle changes and how to best manage your risk. And if you do have heart disease, treating the problem at the source is the best way to deal with ED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is one exception. Some PDE5i drugs, like Cialis and Levitra, can be used as treatment for conditions like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/cialis\/cialis-and-bhp-how-it-works\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">benign prostatic hyperplasia <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(BPH).
